Request for Help. John GALVIN 1852 Melbourne Victoria

[GalvinClear]

I have traced back to John Galvin who arrived in Melbourne, November 1852 on the ship "Severn" (I think that this is the correct person).  I cannot find any evidence of where he was from or of his family.  His eldest son was born in St Kilda 1854, (this was recorded in a family bible some years latter) but no record was lodge with BDM.  His wifes name was Mary McNichol.  Not sure if they were married as there is no record.

Thanks

I can't see any reference to the immigration of John Galvin.  Did he arrive in Melbourne?  Do you know if he was ans assisted immigrant or unassisted?

I will be at the ANL next week and am happy to look up the fiche/film if we can find a reference.

Was the birth you found, Daizi (Charles frederick Augustus  born,  St Kilda  1860) registered?  If Galvinclear downloads that birth it should have some info re the parents.

Information given on birth certificates, Victoria
 Date and place of birth;
 name of child and whether present or not;

You can download directly from the website but you will need the registration number - perhaps Daizi can post  for you.

Hi Galvin,
 
I see from your tree that you think he was from Co Kerry in Ireland, try this link, there are a few marriages and babtisms on there that may help.
